Car was booked in for the MOT on sat and after being off the road for over 7 months while I rebuilt the engine and fitted new suspension etc.
I was nervous as hell when I left it off and went for a walk for a couple of hours while it was done.
Came back in and it flew straight through with no problems at all! I got them to do the tracking as well as it was miles out after I fitted a new control arm and now the car drives so nice its unreal.
Have to leave it back in this weekend to get the exhaust straightened as I wasnt able to get it perfect when I was lying under the car fitting it after the rebuild.

It was great last night as it was my first day since september last year that I could cruise around in the good weather. :D

Only annoying things are though that the head gasket is still leaking and although its not bad I'll have to get round to changing that at some point and there is a vibration developing under the car when accelerating hard so it looks like the prop centre bearing needs done too. GRRRR

Oh well roll on the good weather cruising! :D
